  1. Bellringer-March 17, 2014 • How do flowers reproduce? • Do flowers have separate male and female organs? • How do monocot and eudicot flowers differ?

  2. Flowers/Reproduction Aquaponics

  3. Flower • Sexual reproductive structure • Produces egg and sperm • Fertilization takes place inside the flower

  4. The flower: the defining structure of angiosperms • Reproductive structure: pollen transfer; specialized shoot with modified leaves • Sepals: enclose flower before it opens • Petals: attract pollinators • Stamens: male sex organs; anther (produces pollen), filament • Carpels (Pistal): female sex organs; stigma, style, ovary, ovules

  5. Pistil *Stigma –top of the pistil, Sticky surface for pollen to stick to *Style – connects the stigma to the ovary *Ovary –contains ovules ( eggs) Stamen *Anther –produces sperm nuclei by meiosis. Sperm nuclei are enclosed by pollen grains. *Filament – holds the anther up Female reproductive organ Male reproductive organ

  6. (a) Wings enable maple fruits to be easily carried by the wind. (b) Seeds within berries and other edible fruits are often dispersed in animal feces. (c) The barbs of cockleburs facilitate seed dispersal by allowing the fruits to “hitchhike” on animals. Pollination • Flowers/fruits can be carried by wind, water, or animals to new locations, enhancing seed dispersal Figure 30.9a–c

  7. Pollination: Transfer of mature pollen grains from the anther to the stigma

  8. When a pollen grain lands on the stigma, it germinates and a pollen tube grows down through the style to an ovule (egg)

  9. Fertilization • The sperm travels through the pollen tube to the ovule. The sperm & egg fuse forming the zygote (fertilized egg) –this grows into the plant embryo (cells grow by mitosis)

  10. *Self pollination –pollen from same flower*Cross pollination – pollen from a different flower - more variation

  11. The ovary and zygote (fertilized ovule) develop and ripen. *The ovule forms the seed and the ovary forms the fruit. • A fruit is a ripened ovary

  12. Fruits • Form when ovary with ovules (eggs) ripens • May be dry and hardened (nuts) • May be enlarged and fleshy (berries, apples, tomatoes) …TASTY!!! • Used to help disperse seeds

  13. 2 groups of Angiosperms (flowers) • Monocots: 1 embryonic seed leaf calledcotyledon(lilies, palms, grasses, grain crops); parallel venation; 3 petals • Eudicots (formerly Dicots): 2 embryonic seed leaves (roses, peas, sunflowers, oaks, maples); netlike venation; 4-5 petals • Vascular tissue refinement: vessel elements/fiber cells
